Ferrari enzo for sale on bay for 5m GBP
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FERRARI-ENZO-A...QQcmdZViewItem

I know this is the wrong place to put this post, I've made another post in the ferrari section, but I usually check this section out and find the people to be highly knowledgable. Any comments on the above link please?

If you knew it was in the wrong section, why post it here? Have you had any response from the Ferrari section?

Although you are right, we know a damn lot about cars, not just the F1

Selling on ebay gets maximum exposure for any product.

The concept of selling a car let alone an exotic on ebay is still an interesting concept to me. Several things are probably occuring:
1) the sales people are desperate
2) the sales people dont have enough connections with the rich and famous to have word spread that they have something highly desireable in their stables (which is normally how a car of this caliber is sold)
3) local interest has declined
4) they dont want to pay any other salesperson a finders fee
5) ebay reaches the largest audience, in the shortest amount of time for the least amount (search engines will point back to it). Once it gets on the internet and esp search engines, word spreads like wildfire.. unfortunately, this includes undesireables.

Those on here who have purchased high end cars can probably offer a better explanation esp from their perspective.

Sorry, maybe I should have provided more detail in my post, but my question wasnt really about why it was posted on ebay, I've seen several exotics listed on here. My question was the astronomical bidding price of 4-5m pounds on a car worth roighly1/8th of that much.

Simple answer: False bidders...

Usually from people who get excitement out of proclaiming that they bid on an exotic car with absolutely no expectations of fulfilling their obligations. They feel that the internet gives them a sense of anonymity and an ebay contract is not legally binding. Many make false user names to drive up either their own product or another's. In this case it is used to proclaim that they are bidding on an exotic.

Because we know alot about cars, but post about them in the correct forum / website I.e. For Ferrari posts / info I go to the Ferrarichat website, TVR's etc to Pistonheads, Top end Porsches to PureGt, BMW's to M5world / E46fanatics, and so on

But still here for all things F1
